DIY Stealth Transmission Spacers
Posted: Sat Aug 25, 2012 6:29 pm
What to do...you built up a Stealth tranny, but you have no spacers. Search eBay, and if you get very lucky, you get a set. Vintage A&L still sells the alloy ones (look awesome).
BUT...what if there was a part available off the shelf at the LHS that would work?
Hmmm...HPI part # 100318 (I had a blitz, these were leftover parts
)

They are a touch large to fit into the stealth holes & about .5mm short.
A quick run in a drill on a file fixes that a quick bevel on the leading edge that you push into the tranny case.
